Tayo na at tayo ay sumapi
Sa kilusan ng YMC
Tayo na at makibaka
Para kay Birheng Maria
Tayong lahat dapat magsama-sama
Samahan ng mga kabataan
Iwaksi ang kasalanan
Magdasal ng Santo Rosaryo
Isuot itong iskapularyo
Mag-alay ka pa ng sakripisyo (sakripisyo)
Itaguyod mong samahang ito
Ibalita mo sa barkada mo
Tayo'y sumigaw "Mabuhay si Maria!"
Any true blue Youth Marian Crusader would surely know the song above from the heart. To the uninitiated, the Youth Marian Crusade (YMC), now known as Youth for Mary and Christ, is a high school-based religious group whose main mission is to bring people, especially male students, to Christ through Mary. I'm proud to say that I was once a member of this organization. In fact, I became its coordinator in my senior year in Manila High School, my beloved alma mater.
